To check if your answers are correct, let's go through each question one by one:
17. An important economic activity in the Caribbean islands today is:
To determine the correct answer, we need to evaluate the options given. The options are:
a. coffee growing
b. iron mining
c. manufacturing
d. tourism
To find the correct answer, we can eliminate options that are unlikely to be important economic activities in the Caribbean islands. Coffee growing and iron mining are not typically associated with the Caribbean islands. Manufacturing could be a potential economic activity, but the Caribbean islands are known more for service-based industries. Tourism is a major economic activity in the Caribbean islands, as it is a popular tourist destination.
Therefore, the correct answer is d. tourism.
24. Widespread unemployment in the Caribbean islands has forced many islanders to:
To determine the correct answer, we need to evaluate the options given. The options are:
a. seek work in rural areas
b. migrate to other countries
c. develop their own businesses
d. work in the sugar industries
To find the correct answer, we can eliminate options that are less likely to be a response to widespread unemployment. Seeking work in rural areas may not provide many employment opportunities. Working in the sugar industries may also not be a viable option in areas where sugar production is declining. Developing their own businesses could be a possibility for some, but it may not be feasible for everyone.
Migration to other countries is a common response to widespread unemployment as individuals seek better job opportunities and economic conditions elsewhere.
Therefore, the correct answer is b. migrate to other countries.
16. A basic difference between the democratic republic of Mexico and that of the US is that in Mexico:
To determine the correct answer, we need to evaluate the options given. The options are:
a. two political parties dominate the nation
b. the president and congress are appointed
c. the president is elected, but the congress is appointed
d. one political party has held power continuously
To find the correct answer, we can analyze each option. Option a suggests that two political parties dominate the nation, which is not unique to Mexico as many countries have multiple dominant political parties. Option b suggests that the president and congress are appointed, which is not accurate for Mexico as they are elected. Option d suggests that one political party has held power continuously, but this does not apply to Mexico either.
Option c, which states that the president is elected, but the congress is appointed, is a unique feature of the Mexican democratic republic. Unlike the US, where both the president and the members of congress are elected, in Mexico, the president is elected by the people, but the members of congress are appointed through a proportional representation system.
Therefore, the correct answer is c. the president is elected, but the congress is appointed.
Based on the explanations above, it appears that the correct answers are:
17. d. tourism
24. b. migrate to other countries
16. c. the president is elected, but the congress is appointed.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
